I just found out that POSTUM was discontinued.
Last DECEMBER.
Look, people, you have to tell me this stuff. There's a reason I check the blogosphere a hundred times a day. It's so that if anything catastrophic happens someone will tell me. Need the info!
So anyway, according to the Kraft message boards, I'm one of the last people in the universe to find out about it. It's waaaay past too late to rush out and
( sigh) There goes one of the top 5 smells I connect with my childhood.
Thanks Kraft. (pubas!)

I'll check the Canadian shelves ; )
I'm not a Postum fan - blasphemy, I know - but my husband nearly broke down and cried when we heard the awful news (uh, don't tell him I said that). He has since switched to Pero, but that little twinkle in his eye that used to accompany a hot beverage is long gone. Last we checked, three jars were selling for around $70 on eBay. You could've made a killing! :)
I guess that makes me the last person to have never heard of Postum. What is it?
Oh no! Are you serious? My husband will NOT be happy... :S
I am so sorry for your loss!
I didn't know what Postum was, either, until last year when the blogging world was abuzz with the discontinuation. Sorry! That I knew! And I wasn't even a fan. Darn.
I pinky swear that I would have told you, but I didn't know! What is Postum? Instant coffee? Instant cocoa? Hmmmmmm....

Never heard of the stuff.
But so sorry for your loss. I hate it when products go out of business.
LOL. Although, maybe I should apologize for laughing. Unfortunately, I don't understand the fuss... I've never tasted it, although my mom/aunts/uncles/grandma all adored the stuff. We have a monthly family newsletter, and when my uncle heard that it was going to be discontinued, he had my grandma stock up on it. Apparently he has a several year supply now. I got a giggle over reading the updates on the Postum hoarding.
But, I suppose, if the world decided to discontinue hot chocolate, my universe would feel like it was coming to a crashing halt, and you BET I'd want to know ahead of time to be given the chance to stock up. So, I'm sorry you missed that boat.
If it makes you feel any better, if I had read your blog back then, and if I had known you liked Postum at the same time, I would have shared the info!
My husband is devastated. I also went on eBay and Holy Cow! I went to the Pero website and you can requeset a free sample from them to see if you like it. FYI
wow. you are the second person I know who drinks Postum. Technically, I know, I don't actually "KNOW" you, but I know OF you, and therefore I feel that I KNOW you. Really? Postum?! bleaughchch!!!
Here, here Dillon 6. Postum is naasty. Blech. Perhaps they'll manufacture a real drink in it's place. Oh, did I type that outloud?
I know Postum isn't coffee...but I never could figure out what it actually IS, haha! :D
It could have been worse. They could have discontinued Diet Dr. Pepper.
I'm officially last to know.... but I don't care.
try cafix, its as close to postum as i have found
Sounds like something you would drink to get rid of Post-Pardom Depression.
That's what it is for, right?
i read this on someone's blog a million years ago, but I thought it was a fake thing....
I'm sorry your Postom is gone. Have you ever tried Pero? I know it's not the same, come to think of it, I've not seen Pero on the shelves for a while either....
Somthing strange is afoot at the Circle K.
I had the same reaction, but now I drink something I like better. It's called Teecino - and I'm obsessed!
Dude, what? Can we drink Postum? Ok, I've been a dang Mormon for ten years now and nobody told me I could drink POSTUM!? And now it's DISCONTINUED?
Life is so unfair.
Ah, sorry about that! We dont have it here, so I cant agree or disagree, but I know how much it sucks when they take something off the shelves thats been there for a long time..
I have one jar in my pantry! You can have it.
Although, hmm, it's like from 5 years ago.
Want it?
